Exquisitely crafted in 18k white and yellow gold by the celebrated American jeweler Emis Beros, this remarkable brooch captures the delicate elegance of nature in full bloom. Two magnolia blossoms, gracefully nestled in a bed of carved garland leaves, are the centerpiece of this enchanting design. Each magnolia is masterfully hand-carved from luminous mother of pearl and centered with a striking purple cabochon sapphire, each weighing approximately 3 carats. Surrounding the sapphires are 24 round brilliant cut diamonds totaling approximately 1.65 carats, graded G color and VS–SI clarity, adding a soft shimmer to the floral composition.

Delicately winding through the jade are white gold stems, adorned with 29 round brilliant cut diamonds, weighing approximately 0.60 carats total, also G color and VS–SI clarity—creating an organic yet refined structure that brings the entire piece to life.
This substantial and intricately detailed brooch weighs 55.3 pennyweights, a testament to its exceptional craftsmanship and luxurious materials.
